MARC Train

My first stealth shot!

It's like Disneyland excpet the men are wearing penguin suits instead of mouse costumes

My daily commute is like a triathlon. It involves a five mile drive to a train station, a 50 minute train ride and a 1.5 mile walk. The walking part of the rat "race" is by far the most enjoyable. I put on my headphones, sip my coffee, saunter down the sidewalk, and this is what I see:

Orioles Stadium

My train buddy Robert took this photo at the last Orioles game he attended.
Apparently this guy holds season tickets or something—
he and his cheeks are frequently seen at the stadium.

Rogue fireworks, all over Baltimore

Fireworks are illegal in Maryland, but you wouldn't have known it this Fourth of July.

You can't urinate on all of the people all of the time

You know how TV commercials for local, small businesses just don't have the same professional quality as those for big business? I just about died laughing when I first saw this commercial for a Baltimore lawyer.
